Comments

What time does the State Fair of Texas open each day?Exhibit buildings open at 10 a.m. each day. Exhibit buildings close at 10 p.m. (Friday – Monday) and 9 p.m. (Tuesday – Thursday). Museum hours vary. A couple of gates open as early as 7 a.m. but only the livestock are up and about at that time.

FYI- The Cinemark dollar theatre ticket stubs work great for entry into the State Fair of Texas on Thursday. It is even better when you see a movie on Tuesday for .50 (all movies are fifty cents on Tuesday) and then get in to the fair free with your Tuesday movie ticket stub!!!
